These oysters were somewhat of a creative urge I had. I spent the afternoon reading oyster recipes and after a while, unfortunately, they all started to sound the same! I am sure you all understand where I am coming from when I say that. But at the same time I think that is flare and creativity is born....
Hot oysters are a little different and take on the flavour of the topping therefore the topping needs to be intense enough to infiltrate the oyster but not overpower it. This recipe is very similar to Oysters Kilpatrick.
